Installing the Modules
Overview
Before installing any module, ensure you have loaded the most current
software for that module onto your switch, see
codes. You can install any of the modules into any of the HP ProCurve xl
Switches that have a compatible module slot. As of this printing, those are the
HP ProCurve Series 5300xl Switches:
5308xl (p/n J4819A)
5372xl (p/n J4848B)
5348xl (p/n J4849B)
5304xl (p/n J4850A)
The mini-GBICs can be "hot swapped". That is, they can be installed or
removed after the mini-GBIC xl Module is installed in the switch and the
module is receiving power, see
You can "hot-swap" one module for another; that is, replace one module with
another while the switch is still powered on, without interrupting the opera-
tion of the rest of the switch ports, see
the switch if the modules are not the same type, check your configuration.
You can install the modules into the switch either with the switch powered on
or off. The following procedures assume the switch is powered on.
1.
Install the modules in a switch slot
If you have installed any modules into slots that were previously occupied
by a different type module, you need to reset the switch
2.
If you are using the mini-GBIC xl Module, install the mini-GBICs in the
module. You can install the mini-GBICs before or after installing that
module into the switch
3.
Optionally, connect an HP ProCurve 600 Redundant and External Power
Supply to the xl PoE EPS input, using the supplied EPS cable
4.
Verify the modules are installed correctly
5.
Connect the network cabling
6.
Verify the network connections are working properly
7.
Optionally, customize the configuration for the modules' ports (unless
the default port configuration is satisfactory for your network application
(page
22)).
